The goal of the present research was to study the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain over selective attention and continuous function of children suffering from specific learning disability disorder.

The method of the present research was semi-experimental that was conducted by pre-test, post-test along with the control group. Twenty-six first to third-grade children suffering from specific learning disability disorder participated in this study, from the fifth district of the City of Tehran as a sample. In the pre-test stage, all participants were subjected to continuous and selective attention test, and then they were put in two groups of experiment and control. The participants of the experimental group were subjected to the intervention of transcranial magnetic stimulation. The duration of stimulation was 20 minutes for each session and the intensity of stimulation was set at 7 milliamperes. After the end of the intervention, the post-test stage was conducted and a covariance analysis test was used to analyze the data.

The results illustrated there is a significant difference between two groups of experiment and control in the variable of selective attention (f-50/20, p—0/001), and the variable of a continuous function (f-24/80, p-0/001), that according to the difference of means, the function of experiment group is better than the control group.

we can say that the use of approach of transcranial direct-current stimulation during 5 sessions can lead to improving selective attention and continuous function in children suffering from specific learning disability disorder.
